Jack and Sally got into bed when they went home after the meeting. "It's been a long day for Jaycee." Jack said as they slipped into the covers.
"I know. But least on the inside she's still the most sweetest and scare loving daughter we have." Sally as she snuggled up on to Jack.
"Yeah..." Jack remarked as they fell asleep.
A flashback begins...
13 YEARS AGO
3-year old Jaycee is in the bathroom looking in the mirror making scary faces. She giggles when makes a SCARY face.
"Jaycee! Are you done in there?" called her father as he knocks on the door. Jack opens the door to see his daughter looking in the mirror. "Making scary faces again?"
"Yeah, I made a SCARY face this time Daddy." Jaycee replied.
"Really? Let me see!" Jack said wanting to see the scary face. Jaycee nods as she shows it to him. It was the most MONSTROUS look she has ever made. "Aah!" Sally screamed as she walked into the bathroom and saw Jaycee's face. Jack laughs as he carries Jaycee into the air. "That's my girl!"
"WHAT?! W-why are you happy about that when she scared me half-to-death?!" Sally said shaking.
"I wasn't talking about you, Sally. That could be serious." Jack pointed out. Jack and Jaycee went to sit on the bottom of the stairs. "Jaycee." "Yes, Daddy?" Jaycee listened. "We're very lucky to you as our child. You're as sweet as your mother and scare loving as me. You are our Pumpkin Princess. And when you grow up, you will become our Pumpkin Princess. Because you're special." Jack explained. Jaycee gave her father a hug. "I love you, Daddy."
"I love you too, sweetie."
1 YEAR LATER
Today was Jaycee's first day at Halloween Elementary School and she was kind of nervous because her parents won't come with her. Plus, Halloween is tomorrow and she will be performing at the Festival and she was excited. She was already dressed in her school uniform: an orange collared shirt with a pumpkin symbol on the top left and khaki pants. "Mommy, Daddy, why won't you come with me?" she asked.
"Oh, sweetie. I know you're nervous about us not being with you, but schools just don't allow children to bring their parents with them." Sally replied placing her hands onto her daughter's shoulders.
"But...I'm ready to perform on Halloween and I don't what I'm going to do without you." Jaycee said as she was holding onto her mother's legs.
"But you will be performing on Halloween. And if you could just get through this one day, you'll be scaring people in no time." Jack reminded her.
"I can't until...Tomorrow." Jaycee remarked as she and her parents started to sing...
TOMORROW (Reprise)
JAYCEE
Halloween will come out Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that Tomorrow
It will come
SALLY
Just thinkin' about Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'til there's none
JACK
When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and lonely
I just stick up my chin and grin and say, oh
JAYCEE, JACK AND SALLY
Halloween will come out Tomorrow
So you gotta hang on
'til Tomorrow, come what may!
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love ya, Tomorrow
You're only a day away!
Tomorrow, Tomorrow I love ya Tomorrow
You're only a day away!
Jaycee gave her parents a family hug after the song. "You just gotta wait, Jaycee. 'til Tomorrow" Jack said to her.
The Skellington family have arrived at Halloween Elementary School. Jack and Sally wished their daughter good luck on her first day. As Jaycee walks to the building, a long green leg trips her over. "Aah!" She screamed as she falls to the ground. An evil laugh was heard. It was revealed that the who tripped her was a green living burlap sack with purple hair, who was none other than Darcy Boogie, the 5-year old daughter of Oogie Boogie, the defeated bogeyman. "It never gets old." She laughed.
"Hey! That wasn't nice!" Jaycee said getting up. "Oh, Did I trip you? I am so SORRY!" Darcy said pushing Jaycee back to ground. She laughed even harder. "YOU'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE!" Jaycee shouted angrily trying to get up. "Oh, please FORGIVE ME!" Darcy said pushing Jaycee even harder. She started laughed even MORE harder than before. Then she starts walking away, crackling up. "Ow! My back!" Jaycee groaned as she tried to get up.
"Here, let me help ya." A blond haired girl said as she helped Jaycee off the ground. She was none other than Judy Finkelstein, daughter of Victor Finkelstein. "You okay?" Judy asked Jaycee. "Yeah. Who was that?" Jaycee wondering who Darcy is.
"Oh, That's mean girl, Darcy Boogie." Judy replied pointing to Darcy. "Boogie? You mean like the bogeyman?" Jaycee wondered. Judy nods. "That's his daughter."
"Well, at least you're not as mean as her." Jaycee pointed out. "Hi, I'm Jaycee. Jaycee Annabelle Skellington." Jaycee pulled out her hand.
"I know that. My father created you." Judy shakes Jaycee's hand. "I'm Judy. Judy Finkelstein."
"We're gonna be best friends." Jaycee remarked as she gave Judy a BFF hug.
HALLOWEEN NIGHT
Everyone was cheering for the grand finale. The Mayor grabs his megaphone and speaks: "Ladies and gentleman! It's time for the grand finale!" Jack and Sally are on the roof of Town Hall.
"Halloween Town! Be prepared" Jack announced as he drops the little figure with a pumpkin. In a few seconds, the figure was transformed into Jaycee Annabelle Skellington herself. Everyone cheered on her for her fantastic performance.
12 YEARS LATER
Jack smiles as he dreams of Jaycee's childhood. "That's my girl."
